Isn't it time we dropped this nonsense that "blacks" can "pass for white"? The people you describe are whites who wisely decided to stop the self-policing necessary to maintain the "one drop" myth (which has always been honored more in the breech than the observance). Rather, we should ask why black and black-identified American intellectuals are obsessed with finding "black blood" or African DNA in white people. Most Americans of all "races" would agree that the extremely high black crime rate is their major social problem. Too many black intellectuals, however, would rather search for "black blood" in famous white people or denounce people for "passing" for what they really are.
